Abstract

The effects of various seedling types and growing media on phenological features of the seedlings with earliness and yield were examined in strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa Duch.) cultivation with greenhouse soilless culture. In the trial, cultivar was ‘Camarosa’; seedling types were plug seedling and frigo seedling ; growing media were peat (T), perlite (P), cocopeat (K), volcanic tuff (V) and their combinations . The results showed that plug seedling is favorable for blooming and earliness; and frigo seedling for total yield per plant. While the first blooming in frigo seedlings started at the beginning of January, and the first harvest started in February, the first blooming in plug seedlings started in November and the first harvest started in November. The total yield value per plant changed based on the trial year, and the range in frigo seedling was between 1057.61 g plant-1 and 1151.90 g plant-1; the range in plug seedling was between 745.42 g plant-1 and 739.11 g plant-1. In terms of growing media, K and K+V growing media had better results than other growing media in terms of plant growth, earliness and yield. In the plants grown in V and P growing media, the earliness lagged substantially, and the yield per plant decreased.

Topraksız kültürle çilek yetiştiriciliğinde fide tipleri ile yetiştirme ortamlarının erkencilik ve verim üzerine etkileri

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, örtüaltında topraksız kültürle çilek (Fragaria×ananassa Duch.)
yetiştiriciliğinde, değişik fide tipleri ile yetiştirme ortamlarının, bitkilerin fenolojik özellikleri
ile erkencilik ve verim üzerine etkileri incelenmiştir. Denemede çeşit olarak ‘Camarosa’ çeşidi;
fide tipi olarak, tüplü fide ile frigo fide; yetiştirme ortamı olarak ise torf, perlit, kokopit,
volkanik tüf ve bunların karışımları denenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, çiçeklenme ve
erkencilik bakımından tüplü fidenin; bitki başına düşen toplam verim bakımından ise frigo
fidenin avantajlı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Nitekim frigo fidelerde ilk çiçeklenmeler ocak ayı
başında, ilk derimler ise şubat ayında başlarken; tüplü fidelerde ilk çiçeklenmeler kasım ayı
başında ve ilk derimler ise aralık ayında gerçekleşmiştir. Bitki başına düşen toplam verim
değeri, deneme yıllarına göre değişmekle birlikte, frigo fidede 1057,61 g bitki-1 ile 1151,90 g
bitki-1 ; tüplü fidede 745,42 g bitki-1 ile 739,11 g bitki-1 arasında değişim göstermiştir. Yetiştirme
ortamları bakımından ise özellikle kokopit ve kokopit+volkanik tüf ortamları, gerek bitki
gelişimi, gerek erkencilik ve gerekse verim bakımından denenen diğer ortamlardan daha
olumlu sonuçlar vermiştir. Volkanik tüf ve perlit ortamlarında yetiştirilen bitkilerde ise
erkencilik önemli oranda gecikirken, bitki başına düşen verim değeri de azalmıştır.
